Barbara was an amazing, strong, intelligent, passionate, funny woman who I admired very much.
She was my mother-in-law and along with Gerhart Friedlander introduced me to classical music, plays, theater, German and Jewish culture and foods.
Barbara and Gerhart would always come to Florida every few months so that they could be a part of Adam, Alex and Andrew's life.
I am so grateful and thankful to have known this strong lady who fought for women's rights and her compassion for others. Thank you for having been a big part of my life.
I love you Barbara and you will be missed
God Bless
Pam

So sorry to hear of Barbaras passing. I was her trusted pharmacist for many years and loved our conversations we would have when she came into the pharmacy. Her passion for her beliefs were unmatched. God Bless her and her family. You will be missed.
